Default Similar to what I had

That?s similar to what I remember having, about a half inch either side, opposite direction on white gel coat tips. I had rejected fwd and rear ribs along with some fab ( faking the aileron extension) that I used as jigs for revision. My pictures tell me I cut across the back and forward about 16?. I also got to do the second one twice because I twisted it, it had a droop to the outboard edge (half-a55ed Horner tip ), so watch out for that. I used a few dabs of 5-minute epoxy to get the position set, then went into the real layup. Really, it was not bad and a decently rewarding task, as fiberglass goes.

It?s been awhile but I split the trailing edge and re glued them. Then f/g for strength and micro to fair in and then paint. Flying 18 months, no problems.

Default Good Info

Thank you all for the feedback on this. Seems like I will be adjusting the wingtips. Probably not big deal. If anyone has pictures to share about the rework process, I do appreciate.
Happy flying weekend!
